It's not the same as flight mode. When you enter flight mode, you  
disconnect immediately. When you disable automatic network searching, you  
don't disconnect, but if disconnection happens, you don't try to reconnect.

That's what I had in all my Siemens phones. Still not sure if it is of any  
value.
